that yah'll <3 looking @ my face.
if someone would have told me that fading hair color would be the funnest thing ever,
I would have done it a long time ago.
its an adventure every time I wash my hair.
"what color is it today??"
in a strange twist of fate...
people's attention to my hair when it was platinum, on top of my uncertainty,
made me uncomfortable.
my loving the brown,
with people actually telling me they liked the blonde better,
makes me LOVE it all the more.
I'm contrary.
There ARE more things going on in my life than my hair. I promise. Like actually being involved in my calling (well, kind of. I went to one meeting, had to bring Petra b/c Jeff was working late, and spent the entire time shushing her, therefore I have no idea what happened at the meeting). I am reading books (I skipped a few pages at the end, but I had read it before, so it still counts I think). We are finding ways to be more economical ($100 membership to Costco, you gotta spend money, to make money yah know). We are also finding ways to improve the look and feel of our home (using our Costco membership to buy a, um, modest ((42''?? what the...)) flat screen tv). See? More than hair.
ok ok ok. I admit. A lot of these things are very much living on the surface kinda things. Probably because lately, underneath the surface, my mind has been running. Going through a growth spurt maybe.
It seems like suddenly I am surrounded by grown up problems. People getting divorced, people having miscarriages, real sorrow, real issues. Now, these things are just happening around me and not to me. For that I am grateful. I also know that I can not claim to know how these things feel. I just seem to be realizing that the world is full of tragedy. I just seem to be realizing that I am not going to be immune to it. Its just something I keep thinking about. Not necessarily worrying about. Like its something that I just now seem to be realizing. Things happen. I am a grown up. Kinda.
Like I said, I like my hair.

I like your hair too. You've just proven that you look great with any hair color, and that my friend, is no small accomplishment. I can't imagine how scary I'd be with any other hair color.
And by the way, I'd love to bring you the cactus. I want to visit Seattle anyway; maybe they'll let me carry I'd on the plane, huh?
Carry it, that is. I'm typing this from my phone. I'm a nerd.
a sibling of spencer's contrary? what? i knew he wasn't the only one. it's in your blood.
i had a hard time when "real" issues started happening all around us. i want to feel like my world is unwavering still. but alas, real life is filled with just as many sad moments as happy. we're not as invincible as we used to be, are we?
Word to not wanting to deal with real issues, even if you're not the one who actually has to deal with them.
So you should put up a link to some of your poetry, I'd love to check it out...unless there already is a link and I missed it, then I'll look quite foolish...

i wish my hair faded that beautifully.
i hated the moment when i realized the world around me wasn't as perfect as i thought. the other day i asked bryce if the world was always like this and we're just getting old enough to realize it, or if the world around us just happens to be getting worse.
p.s.
thank you for such a nice comment that you left on my last post. seriously, one of the nicest comments i've ever received. thank you. you're beautiful, too.
when my hair fades it fades into this weird, orangey redish blah. the last time i went to deena she was almost horrified by the color it faded to.
it's so easy to get depressed by all the problems in the world. and as grown up as we may feel, or as grown up as we think we're supposed to feel (is that confusing?), i think if i succumb to absorbing all the grown up things that are in the world, i would get a little jaded. we're supposed to become like children, right? i think we're supposed to overcome problems the same way. we can cry at the time, but we gotta look forward with happiness and innocence. otherwise... i don't want to think of the otherwise.
one of the worst things about through a serious problem like that is you see how it affects people around you, and i hate that.
I like your hair! I cannot believe how much it has faded though! The last time I saw you at Jess's wedding it was blonde blonde!
Life is hard and sometimes not fair. I do think it is hard to see our loved ones go through hard times. I myself have witnessed many things my close friends and family have gone through and it is hard! Being an adult is hard!
